DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT

Everyone else wants to celebrate the 4th of July and they (I know who) dump main [I'm not telling what] duty on American Boy as calls still come in from [somewhere they don't celebrate the 4th] - so no do-dah at the American Amb.'s residence tonight. Yes, that was the upcoming event I withheld last week. Poo. He is not happy with his boss (whom I met at the marines party *ahem* - suffice it to say that when I misbehave Am Boy threatens to give him my number, hehe! (Gosh, I wonder if he knows we are an item and is doing this on purpose...)) and he is very pee'd off about this evening. He's been doing the work of 3 people for the past couple of weeks, plus someone keeps putting him on duty roster on weekends (haha, let's guess who), plus the recent "situations" in London...hence not much going out and more staying in, and now this.

(Man, being cryptic is a new thing for me.)

Whilst walking to the Emb., he made a long apologetic phone call about his recent preoccupation and long hours, and wants to make it up to me over the next couple of weeks after colleagues, plus his secretary, return from vacation and things settle back down. He sounded a lot more like himself again and looked forward to the things we will do and places we will go. I too apologised for any recent inconsistencies. Both of us are under quite a bit of stress.

i agree... moving can be so stressful. packing and unpacking. but it's all worth it in the end.

i hope things settle down soon and you guys get to enjoy some quality time together. they say that distance makes the heart grow fonder... or what is that saying? but anyhoo... hopefully that's the case! ;)

give a big hello to your mom... hope you guys get some rest after the big day.

Dan - that is what he promised, and he doesn't forget. You've got to imagine how much more stressful national security is than, say, insurance or accounting. Poor lad. Oh bless, he actually just texted apologies from work like he used to before all the upheavals; I think he's realising just how distracted he has been...

Thanks for the hug, Dan *hug*

Um Naief - yes it will be indeed.

Seriously, I am doing this move myself. If my Mum were here I would not be this stressed out...she arrives on the 18th. I can't wait!

The day I move, I have to buy a toaster, kettle, ooh and beddings...oh my.

Hey,Am Boy's doing all right,I think,Olivia..but,yes,u being cryptic is quite unusual..grin.:)Hope u keep snucking in a post now and then,just like this one..happy shifting,again.I know-very difficult to resist the temptation to blog every day or two..same here.

You're a doll. Thanks for coming by and saying hello. No industrial sized cocktails for me. Only three meds smashed into one pill. One pill not unlike a charged vitamin, in size from a health boutique. Life is good, and the flowers are beautiful.

Brussels is wet and has lots of dog poo on the pavements. And no decent coffee shops. There is apparently a costa coffee at the south station (where Eurostar arrives) but many hours of wandering show no signs of decent coffee available elsewhere.

SUBTALK: Train of Thought

We do not expect people to be deeply moved by what is not unusual...If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence.
